Not for the first time, I can't tell what the updates are, other than "Devon". However, their coverage page for Devon PRs is now completely different, so is presumably up to date. Except ... little wrinkle I noticed - the coverage appears now to only describe parishes with imaged registers and omits those parishes which only have indexes - this caused me no end of concern as my entry point (Barnstaple) is an index only parish and at first site it had gone completely. It's still there, just not in that list.
